I'm looking for a font similar to the one used in chat during game. What's important - the character widths have to be the same. I've found 1 or 2 in MS Word where letters have basicly the same widths, but spaces are either too wide or too narrow.

I need it, so I can put all the strings into word or notepad and check how does one line is situated against another. Otherwise I'd need to launch game many times to add/remove some spaces in order to justify text in the middle of the screen for example.

That's what mostly everyone does. How about looking for a font program? All you would have to do is turn each individual letter into an image then ...


I'd just do it like everyone else. with practices, it's the best way to do it.

Yea, I do the same, but wouldn't it be much easier if you could write and position everything in notepad, and then just copy to triggers and it'd be as you want in first try?
Well, if noone heard about that font (I've searched google myself for quite a lot of time) I might try to make it in some font editor.

The spaces are slightly different depending on where the text is. Where are you looking for?

You can use PyMS to get and decompile StarCraft's fonts it to .bmp with PyFNT, or you can preview your strings using PyTBL's built in string previewer.

All right, I've made this font. Took some time, but was worth the effort.

To install font on Windows, download this file and then drag'n'drop it into C:\Windows\Fonts (don't save the file there directly, you have to copy it there for the font to be installed).
In Notepad it's best displayed in font size 15,30, etc., Word - all sizes.

I've already eliminated few errors, but if you still find something, let me know. Also if you want me to add more, because not all characters are glyphed, only those you see on keyboard. So if you type some fancy ascii char, you will see half-cutted symbol, or nothing at all.
